Harvest Salad with Grains

This Roasted Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprout Salad is so simple, but so good and after having a similar version at a local restaurant, I knew immediately that I had to recreate it at home. While I love comfort food recipes especially during the holidays, sometimes a healthy side dish really hits the spot!

Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipe

I often roast vegetables, but have never added grains to it. The addition of the grains adds an interesting textural element. I used a bag of mixed grains from the grocery store, one of those microwaveable bags, but you could use whatever type of grain you like! Rice, quinoa, or couscous would all be great! You can even leave out the grains if you wanted this salad recipe to be strictly vegetables. With or without the grains, this a delicious healthy recipe idea for the holidays and is perfect if you are having vegetarians or vegans for dinner.

Vegetarian Side Dish Recipe for Thanksgiving

I love having recipes in my arsenal that appeals to all appetites. I always worry that a non-meat eater will not have anything filling to eat, so this is a great option since it has the protein from the grains. You never want to just offer a vegetarian a bowl of mashed potatoes! They won’t be full from that!

Apple Thyme Vinaigrette Recipe

I can’t forget to mention the amazing dressing! This salad is topped with an apple thyme vinaigrette! The tangy flavors of the apple cider balance out the veggies so well! It adds the perfect flavor punch to an already delicious combination! Brussels sprouts need a hearty dressing and this one is perfect! The holidays are right around the corner and while it is time to break out our favorite comfort food recipes, we still need to have some vegetables once in a while, right? This Thanksgiving Salad recipe is perfect to even out your comfort food cravings with some healthy veggies and delicious enough to serve to guests!
